I appreciate the review! I didn't expect anyone would use my plugin let alone review it, and I think you did a great job. :) As for your usability comment about dropping the hello world snippet into your theme... You can do that by calling the function "helloworld_get_random_snippet()" in your template. It will return the snippet formatted into a string. I realize I didn't mention it in the plugin page, so ill make sure to in a future version. Example: Also if you want to reduce the maximum sized snippet in the database (limit the database to only snippets of x lines or fewer) edit line 36 in helloworldgen.php and change it to a smaller number. Then reinstall the plugin and you should be set! :) Hope that helps, and thanks again for the review!! ~Carl Sverre Hey mate! I appreciate the review!
